Human Flight (Insane Wingsuit Flying)

Most of them are dead.

the back hooks was kinda gross. otherwise awesome!

Lol, i didn't watch this one! the average lifespan in this sport is bellow 25 yo.

Thats not flying...its controlled falling

Now we know the answer to the Fermi Paradox, The Corliss Resolution to the Drake Equation

When you do this shit, and die, it is only right.

hope you enjoy.

Thank you captain obvious. I was referring to myself not being fat.

anyone catch the dates in the lower left corner for several people they showed? - like life span dates example 1985-2006 and others. these people are droppin like flies!... dead that is!

Yup. But they surely lived, didn't they?

3:53 ouch!

hitting that rock at around 120+ mph...

A Big Bird costume? No pressure for aeronautical showboating.

Me and my mate tried that with sheets when we were kids. Not as good though.

Okay so how do they land?

interesting that no landings are shown.

They use a parachute to land

shots in this video are misleading. this is actually pretty lame in that they are pretty much skydiving/base jumping. If you saw it in real life on the ground youd just see a guy falling at a very steep angle.




no kidding as another poster said slightly controlled falling is all it is. poor guy was trying as hard as he could to edge up but the aerodynamics of those flight suits are different than real flight in that they are in a STALL the entire time.

They seem to be pretty close to the ground, not much room for a parachute.

I don't know if you noticed, but those guys all have end dates on their lifespans when they posted it in the video. One guy was 1972 to 2015....

this is not flying. it is controlled falling

That's gotta be an adrenalin rush!

What speed are they going?ó
